What eats less donkeys or horses?
Donkeys come in 3 sizes, mini, standard and mammoth. Even a mammoth is usually only the size of a light horse. Donkeys also are more adapted to harsh environments than the horse and can get more "bang for his buck" out of his feed ration. So the short answer is a donkey eats less to maintain his weight that does a horse.

How many chromosomes does a donkey have?
The mule has 63 chromosomes. A donkey has 31 pairs and a horse 32 pairs so the mule or hinny inherits 31 from its donkey parent (usually the father) and 32 from its horse parent. The fact that the donkey has fewer chromosomes than the horse is thought to be the reason why hinny-breeding (where the father is the horse) is more difficult, resulting in a high rate of spontaneous abortion. If two species are to be crossed, therefore, the male should be the one with fewer chromosomes.
